Snort
Network Intrusion Detection & Prevention System for Linux and Windows
Snort is an open-source network intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS) that monitors network traffic for malicious activity. It uses rule-based detection to identify threats, generate alerts, and optionally block harmful packets inline. It is available for both personal and business use on Linux and Windows.
Snort inspects network packets against a set of community or subscriber rules to identify malicious patterns and generate alerts or block traffic inline.
